Probably not those Bridgestone's they use are enduro tyres practically made out of wood lol. The chassis is an old 97 Birel job or something, massively stiff haha.
Not very economical & have heard horror stories about reliability (I work with Jap cars)
Certainly with the RX8's which is the same idea being a w**kell motor they seem to start having problems with the rotor tips beyond about 40K & need rebuilds.
They aren't like driving a proper kart thats for sure but with your TKM back ground you should be alright i'd imagine providing it was tkm 2 stroke and not the smokey 4's. Direct drive and all that.
I did a bit with them & have to say despite max standards being bad (senior death as i call it) I thought the difference in standards was terrible. Some people in c100 have literally no race craft at all & seemed literally clueless lol.
But saying that on the opposite side there was some good...
Nice one pal. I'm of the same back ground as you except I went down the Max route.
Couldn't get on with club100's chassis tho made out of pig iron & tyres made out of recycled bin lids lol & i'm confident my budgie has more bhp ;)
With mine,
Went easy on it for the first couple of hundred miles (lot's of varied driving through the rev range pre 6k & always getting it up to temp).
Hit 800 miles and started giving it a bit more.
Hit 1k & gave it the beans.
I've not "knowingly" driven with red stuff. Green stuff is terrible & I can't say I've heard much good about the rest of the range (cars).
Apparently they're good for bike pads tho.
I have driven on Green stuff tho (different compound) they were useless.
As above, drive it and see what breaks.
An all round freshen up would be a good place to start tho if your wanting to spend money.... Bushes/Rods/bearings/bars etc & maybe look at the brakes.
Other than that just enjoy it.
Yep flat shifters are the nuts until they go wrong). You only really need to heel n toe on the way down to stop it locking up, especially in the wet. You can with most not use the clutch on the way down as well but I wouldn't.
It does make a difference. When we were at Donny with the G50 it had a drop of VPower in it which we ran through from a test session. I can catagorically tell you it runs better on 102 supplied by Suneco as the control fuel.
